Cody Rhodes shares the list of suggestions CM Punk gave him for Team USA.

At WWE Survivor Series, there will be a 5-on-5 Survivor Series match between Team USA and Team Mexico.

On this week’s SmackDown (11/13), Rey Fenix joined Team Mexico. During the segment, CM Punk gave Cody Rhodes some suggestions for Team USA and asked him to keep an open mind.

The American Nightmare has now shared the names Punk suggested for this matchup:

• Hacksaw Jim Duggan
• Ken Patera
• 1987 Nikita Koloff (do NOT get 1986 Koloff, would not fit group)
• Jason Voorhees (keep an open mind, loves America)
• Mr. America
• Bruce Springsteen (not Dickinson, NOT American)
• A.J. Lee (in red/white/blue bikini) – #1 pick but didn’t want to seem like I’m playing favorites
• The Patriot (not Dark or Tom Brandi)
• Es Gee Tee Slaughter
• ‘Taker w/ Betsy Ross flag duster (his favorite)
• John Cena (not retired just need to pay $$$$)
